I stumbled upon this encouraging blog called www.runsforcookies.com.  It is about a woman that lost half her body weight dropping from 250 to 125 in a little over a year.  She did it all on her own by counting calories and exercising.    It's encouraging to know that there are still people out there that take it upon their selves to lose their own weight instead of relying on medication, surgeries, or diet supplements.  I just wish the weight would come off as quickly as it comes on!  Wouldn't that be nice.  But, I've always heard the slower the weight comes off, the more likely it is to stay off!  

For me losing weight is a constant battle, but I am determined to get healthy and stay healthy. Exercising is a piece of cake for me; it's the eating right that always seems to get me!   I feel that Kody and I have been doing a great job with our workouts and have made great efforts to change our eating habits. I want this to be a lifestyle change, which I feel that we are making!  Not saying that we still don't cave in and eat the junk, because we do.  It's just less often than we used to and less of it too!  I've found that if I don't buy the junk, then I won't eat the junk!  Amazing isn't it!  haha!

My sister-in-law, Katy told us about this app that she is using called my fitness pal.  It tells you how many calories you can have a day and you log all of your food onto it.  It has definitely helped keep us in check with what we are eating and how many calories are in foods!  Wow!  Hopefully we will stick with it and have great results!  

Here's to a year of change!  Hopefully that means a change in pants sizes!  hehe :-)
